Match report from the Angling Trust

The fifth qualifier of the series of the Angling Trust and British Waterways Stillwater Championships provided the best sport so far this year with some good fishing on a warm, but overcast day at Blythe Waters, Knowle, Solihull on Saturday 11th August 2012.

The winner on the day was Sean Huggins (Leicester) who coincidentally won the same round last year. Sean had a good net of carp up to 6 kg. on peg 26 on Willow Pool . Initially he caught fishing shallow in the long pole on a banded pellet but later caught a better stamp of fish in the margins. His final weight was 74.600kg giving him a very convincing win.
